The North Otago Highland Pipe Band leading a street parade last Saturday. The penny farthing riders are right up there with them :)
The Pipe Band was established in Oamaru in 1901.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

That's the best journalistic approach/composition
I've seen in a long time, Eve.
Perfect depth, perfect balance, perfect angle.

Although the band-players are looking very seriously, this image breathes out a joyful atmosphere. Wish I could hear the music and felt the sunrays on my skin, instead of shivering from the cold here.

Very fine post, Lyn!

Regards, Cornelius.

I agree with Doug's comment excellence all around on this one - so colorful and what beautiful weather.

Excellent parade shot Lyn so colourful and full of joy. Did you know that "penny farthings" were only named that in the 1920's long after they had disappeared from the scene? In Victorian times they were called "Ordinaries"
